Perhaps we the people do need a first-class meting out of CONTROL for our own good, via gubmint chipped motorcycle helmet overseers. Not only that, but also whatever secret society lobbied our lawmakers for vehicle data recorders should be lauded. If you have ever driven around any major city, it is clear that something needs done to manage unpredictable lane shifting habits for borderline insane drivers.

These citified sped-up slickers need freedom, like they need a hole in their head gasket.

Even our valley has seen some vast traffic pattern changes in recent decades. Ask anyone this side of Ivan Swaner about it. Speedy Gonzales passing on the right, ignoring anciently established lane protocols. Fewer folks glancing over at stoplights to see if they might actually know the person in the adjacent rig for a potential smile or wave.

Unless some benefactor steps forward to freely donate bundles of zirconium encrusted pedestrian bridges throughout our slender valley, the speed limits should be quickly lowered from where they are to achieve harmonic perambulator crossings.

Twenty-five does not jive for pedestrians, when rigs outweigh them a hundredfold.

Bellevue, Sun Valley, Ketchum and Hailey Central should be 10 -15 tops. Icy makes it dicey, so make it ten, so our slippery-slope pedestrian friends can survive the harsh winter.

How about some ice sensors that telemetrically lower corresponding speed limits when they sense inclement weather?
